Bluetooth Headset Camcorder

Bluetooth Headset Camcorder

 

Many devices now come with Bluetooth functions but this manufacturer has gone a step further, they have created a video recording device with Bluetooth function and it’s also a headset.

The Bluetooth Headset Camcorder looks very similar in size and form factor to the very common Bluetooth headset that so many use with their mobile phones. The Bluetooth headset camcorder doesn’t really look like a Bluetooth headset at all and neither does it look like a hearing aid. This smart video device can be worn on either ear and incorporates a flexible rubberized ear loop and a rotating adjustable camcorder barrel designed to keep the video level. In cell phone mode, the headset provides active noise cancellation, one-touch call control, and a volume control.

The Bluetooth Headset Camcorder not only records video clips but it can also transfer the video to a smart phone device. One drawback is that the video recording quality is not HD. The device records video in 480 pixel resolution at 30 frames per second which is actually pretty decent resolution and good enough for most users.

When you’re recording, the camcorder immediately streams the MPEG4 video file to your smartphone. The camcorder is aligned as the position of your head and shoots whatever you are able to see. In other words, it’s just like your field vision! Now that’s a pretty natural and nifty way to record video. After you record your video, you’ll be able to share the video via e-mail, YouTube and even social network sites with just a push of a button.

So, if you think you’d want to be a part time secret agent or a spy that works to keep the world a better place, you should get this and become secret agent 008 (sorry, 007 is already spoken for). The price of the Bluetooth Headset Camcorder is a reasonable $199.95 for this compact wireless camcorder device.
